Reglan Side Effects Could Include Parkinson's-Like Symptoms

Written by Oklahoma City Attorney

Millions of people suffer from gastrointestinal problems that include diabetic gastroparesis and heartburn generated by gastroesophageal reflux.Ā Unfortunately, those who suffered from these difficult conditions had no choice but to basically make the best of it for many years.Ā However, recent developments in the pharmaceutical industry have made it possible to treat these two conditions, and one of the companies that formulated a product that showed promise was Baxter Pharmaceuticals.Ā Their product is known as Reglan, and eventually reports of Reglan side effects began to emerge that were extremely troubling.Ā As a result of these reports, many people around the country soon found a need for help from a Reglan side effects lawyer.Ā Below is a look at the most serious Reglan side effect.

Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) Presents Symptoms Somewhat Similar to Parkinson's Disease

The most serious Reglan side effect to emerge from reports is an otherwise rare condition known as Tardive Dyskinesia, or TD.Ā TD is a condition that attacks the patient's central nervous system in a progressive manner.Ā There are several extremely troubling aspects of TD, including:

The medical science world does not know how TD originates its attack on the central nervous system.
There is no known cure for TD.
The symptoms of TD can get continually worse until the patient struggles with even the most basic tasks of daily life.

The symptoms of TD can vary to a degree, but the common factor involves involuntary movements of different parts of the body that are repetitive and beyond the patient's control.Ā These involuntary movements can strike:

Mouth
Face
Legs
Arms
Tongue
Trunk

These rapid, spastic-like movements become progressively more rapid over time, and at a certain point the patient is simply unable to manage a normal day or to enjoy a most basic quality of life anyone would expect to enjoy.
